Chapter 189: Double Pride

Coventry City trailed by two goals in the 40th minute of the first half. Even the old George who did not change his face after the Alps collapsed thought that the team's FA Cup and league winning streak was about to end in this game.

The difference in strength between the two teams is obvious, two goals behind, and striker Manla also received a yellow card. The next game was too tough for the Coventry players!

With two goals in hand, Nottingham Forest seem to be looking to extend their lead. Their offensive intensity has not weakened in the slightest.

Liu Yun gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Defense!" Cheer up! ”

Liu Yun loves to watch football when he sets up a breakfast stall. In the game of the Chinese national football team, he did not fall every game. He knows in his heart that this situation, if it is replaced by the Chinese national football team, will definitely collapse. Players lose confidence and don't want to play. He was really afraid that Coventry would lose its fighting spirit like the Chinese national football team.

I have to say that the professionalism of the players of the English League Two team Coventry is far stronger than that of the Chinese national football team with high salaries. Even after two goals, they still played a 12-point mental defense.

In the final minutes of the first half, the Coventry players withstood Nottingham Forest's frantic attack.

At the end of the first half, Coventry City trailed Nottingham Forest 0-2.

There seemed to be some morale in the Coventry dressing room. The players didn't say a word.

The naΓ―ve Manla whispered, "Oh, oh, the referee。。。。。 ”

Alexander immediately glared at him. Manla had no choice but to shut up.

George Sr. put the cigar to his nose and sniffed. If you play the way you did in the first half, you will definitely lose this game! Instead of waiting to fail, take a gamble!

Liu Yun walked up to the old George and strengthened the old George's determination to gamble with a short sentence: "Coach George, Nottingham Forest pressed hard, and even the central defender Jim pressed our half。。。。。。 The back seemed empty. ”

Old George nodded, but did not speak. After a long time, he stood up and walked in front of Qu Bai: "Qu, get ready for your FA Cup debut." ”

Kuaima Qubai was confused: "FA Cup? Debut? ”

Alexander patted Qu Bai on the shoulder: "My little brother, Coach George meant to let you play in the second half!" ”

Liu Yun smiled at the year-old friend Qu Bai.

Eighteen-year-old Qu Bai couldn't believe his ears! How long has it been since I arrived in the UK。。。。。。 Played in the main league game。。。。。 Is the FA Cup going to be played again?

If you use four words to describe Qu Bai's mood at this time, it is "flattered".

As soon as the second half began, Coventry City replaced a midfielder with a fast horse.

At this point, Coventry's formation became 4312. In George's opinion, although Qu Bai is young and inexperienced on the field, he has a speed of 11.4 seconds in 100 meters, which is even faster than Manla. Now Nottingham Forest is pressing hard, and the rear is empty. Coventry can use their defence to counter-attack and be strong behind the opposition. The speed of the teenager Qu Bai has a chance to hit the Nottingham Forest defense fiercely!

Doing so is tantamount to a gamble. Coventry City are already under a lot of pressure at the back, and removing a defensive midfielder and replacing it with a striker will undoubtedly increase the defensive pressure on the pitch even more. Qu Bai is too young and inexperienced in the competition, so he is likely to have no achievements.

Football matches are like that, sometimes you have to make such a gamble.

In the second half, Nottingham Forest was still in a posture to eat Coventry. There were more blossoms in the middle of the wings, and the attack overwhelmed the Coventry players.

Even Liu Yun and Manla have retreated to their own half to participate in the defense. In front, only Qu Bai was left alone to look for opportunities near the midfield.

In the 52nd minute, Nottingham Forest had a chance!

The ball was passed in a burst on the edge of the Coventry penalty area, with centre-back Jim slicing a short pass through the Coventry defence.

Nottingham Forest striker Huntington catches the ball in the box and shoots angrily!

If this goal goes in, it basically kills the game.

However, Huntington's shot was too wide and goalkeeper Joan confiscated the ball. He immediately threw the ball in his hand and attacked.

Ru'an's hand threw the ball to Liu Yun outside the penalty area. Liu Yun took a look at the situation on the field after receiving the ball. Nottingham Forest are so arrogant! In their half, only the goalkeeper and a defender remained. The location of Qu Bai is near the middle circle!

Liu Yun decisively made a long pass!

It was a long pass from a distance of 50 meters, and the quality was extremely high, which gave Qu Bai the opportunity to show his speed advantage!

Qubai high-speed start! It's like a sharp arrow off the string rushing towards the ball! He walked so fast that even the Coventry fans in the stands exclaimed in their hearts: "I didn't expect to have such a fast horse in my team." ”

Qu Bai took advantage of his speed to catch Liu Yun's long pass before the opponent's defender intercepted it!

Then he vigorously went forward and used his speed advantage to eat the opposing defender raw!

At this time, in Qu Bai's eyes, there was only heaven and earth, the goalkeeper and the goal!

He seemed to remember what his uncle Liu Yun said to him one day: "Maybe you won't get the chance to play for a long time." But as soon as the opportunity arises, you have to seize it! God gives you a chance that sometimes comes only once in a lifetime. ”

The jersey on his body seems to be floating at the moment!

Single Knife Ball!

Nottingham Forest's goalkeeper George has the same name as George Sr. He and George Sr. have one thing in common besides their names, that is, they have not changed their faces before the Alpine landslide.

George had enjoyed 52 minutes of cozy time before finally taking on a threatening challenge.

A subtle smile escaped from the corner of the young goalkeeper's mouth. He lunged towards the Chinese player in front of him. Qu Bai, who is moving at high speed, and George, who is also moving at high speed, are like two trains speeding head-to-head, and they are about to collide.

Qu Bai has always been inexperienced and has average psychological quality. He was on the edge of the Nottingham Forest penalty area and had the option to smash the ball past the goalkeeper.

But between the lightning and the flint, he chose to shoot directly.

It was a low flat shot, too positive.

But luck was on Coventry's side.

At the same time as Qu Bai shot, goalkeeper George was already out of the box. He couldn't save the ball with his hands, he simply slipped sideways, trying to block the shot with his body.

The ball hit George's right foot unbiasedly. However, Qu Bai's low flat ball was very powerful, and it changed and bounced back to the goal!

The ball rolls towards the goal. George got up and chased back, but how could the speed of the man keep up with the speed of the ball?

The ball rolls into the empty net!

1:2! Coventry pull a point back! Qu Bai, an 18-year-old from Huaguo, received a long pass from his compatriot, Liu Yun, the 45-year-old spiritual leader of the team, and completed his first goal in the FA Cup!

Qu Bai did not directly start celebrating his goal. He ran to Liu Yun and hugged his role model and idol Uncle Liu Yun!
